Learn to better drive what you have now 1st. Driver mod always comes first. Otherwise, things just get broken, lol.

 

[dsunderland]

^^^ it was my first time, didnt expect much

 

[Root]

i noticed you didnt post the one that i had you at the 330

car 74 is a stock ion 2.4 just for the record... anyone know how a 16.5 on the 1/4 mile would compare to other 2.4's?

 

[billabong9687]

seems comparable. my latest trip to the track was a 13.5 at 113 with a 2.3 60" lol

LOL - I thought the new 2.4 was faster than the old Twin Cam, lol. I squeezed 15.9's @ 87 mph outta my '98 Grand Am GT coup with the 2.4L with a 5 speed, 100% stock at 2000+ ft altitude.

my best was a 16.433 but that was with some tire spin and being a complete rookie at the track

 

[slipknot2157]

my old 92 sl2 was running 16.4's...

my old 92 sl2 was running 16.4's...

stock? (10 char)

 

[slipknot2157]

only thing done to it was the exhaust was hacked up. Other than that, it was a stock SL2 5 speed

 

[dsunderland]

thats suprising to say the least

 

[FenderGuitars777]

Post the slip or at least tell us what it says; probably driver mod if you're not used to the IRL on a track. I used to talk about how hard they were to drive at the drag strip before I bought a MS3, lol - now I just say they're not the easiest.

ANyway - do post you slip; looking at the breakdown of r/t, 60', 330, 1/8, 1000', and final et/trap tells a LOT. For instance, 15.4 @ 90 is odd right out of the gate - that trap is horribly slow, so it couldn't have just been your launch. It's low even for a 15.4 - I took my old 2.4 cyl Grand Am to a 15.9 @ 87 and I got the MS3 to 15.6 @ 93 launching in 2nd, lol.

Might be the car needs work, something in the engine/tune; might be clutch - or you might really need to work on shift technique, etc - bouncing off the limiter a couple of times would also show an ET/trap like that.

Post slip!
